Abstract

When Gabe asked me to 'be' the Translator Profile for this issue of his wonderful Translation Journal, I felt opportunity knocking. A typical freelance translator, spending most of his or her time alone in a room (well, alone with the world since the advent of the Internet, but still), will readily discourse at length on just about anything, given a fraction of a chance. My wife Thea, who has had ample occasion to study the social behavior of translators, calls this 'translators' logorrhea' and considers it a professional disease.
